Mild flanges. If I could have a template that would allow me to trace out the cuts it would take half the time. I think solidworks may have some way to split the runners and print the pattern. Perfect cuts every time.

I hear ya. Life would be soooo much easier if I could figure out a way to unroll bent pipes. Straight pipes are easy, this is what I do with the EWG pipe blend in (straight pipe into straight pipe). Print out the flattened pipe 1:1 and make a decent template for the cut. But I can't figure a way to flatten bends. So it takes lots of time, patience, luck, and some tricks learned along the way. It gets a little easier after you've made one.

Well today i ordered super builder 3" piping for the exhaust, CX racing intercooler kit, and enough material to build 5 turbo manifolds (although that will not be part of this thread). Im hoping to get the LE returned to stock this weekend so i can make some money back to fund this beast.

An amazing price came up on a built short block. I came within millimeters of buying it, there were a few things that didn't sound right to me and with the helpful coaching of the first ever Miata Turbo NW club meet i decided to just throw some M-Tuned rods in my 1.6 and about 280-300 hp to the ground. I sold my MSpnp so Jeff could build me one cheaper. The money i saved i ordered a CXracing radiator with 2 12" fans. I am 99% sure im doing a v-mount.

Hehe, I didn't think you would actually do it. Listening to me will eventually get you in trouble . Keep this **** rollin dude, I want to get that megasquirt in and tuned. It looks lonely on my desk :(

So i took the rest of the week off to do an interview and work on some miatas. TurboRoach came over around 1pm so i could replace his cherry bomb with a straight through pipe. After payment of beer and some cash was received, i proceeded to work on the car. I took some pics of the 6uls but without tires it doesn't look that good.

First i ripped out the radiator i bought before i decided to buy an all aluminum one.

CX racing radiator yay!

Next i drilled out my turbo bolts for 10mm studs.

I decided to make the turbo outlet 2.5", i had to make a transition though
